While surfing the web, I came across this interesting mashup, aptly called the Google Maps of time-based information. I have created a timeline of our lives and the many threads that run through it.
- The top band is scaled by the day and shows little snippets of our lives.
- The small band below that still displays those life snippets but is scaled by the year.
Navigation through our timeline is easy. Click and hold the mouse cursor over any of the timebands and move the cursor left or right to pan through the timeline, or double click on any spot on the timeline and the timeline will automatically pan to that location. Each timeband is synchronizes with the other. At the top of the timeline are milestone dates. Clicking on those will move you to that moment on our timeline.
Above our timeline, you can enter a date and jump to that date on the timeline, and you can also go back to today's date.
Below our timeline are some search tools. The first is a filter tool that will display only those moments in time that match the text you type in. The other is a highlight tool that will hightlight those moments in time in one of the four colors you choose that match the text you type in.
Scroll through and explore our timeline . . .

Our Travel Bugs
For my 35th birthday, Miranda and Kelsey Lukens sent me a bag of toys for trade items. In return, I decided to give them back to them as travel bugs. Check on their progress by clicking on images below:
To return to the photos, just click on the Geocaching icon again . . .
I created my own geocaching mapping mash-up. I transformed all of our geocaching finds into a georss feed and then overlaid the feed onto on Yahoo! Maps. You have all the interactivity of Yahoo! Maps - zooming, panning and switching map types. Each find is easily marked with an icon which also tells you what kind of cache that find was: traditional, multi, earth, virtual or webcam. When you click on a particular cache, it opens up an informational windows that displays when we found the cache, a link to that cache on geocaching.com and a related picture of our find.
